PRINCE OF DARKNESS (Emily Saliers) ----------------------------------
DD/G-D/F#-D/EDD/G-D/F#-D/E [intro]
DDBm7(4) Bm7(4) My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark C(9)C(9) GG And I, I do not feel the romance, I do not catch the spark DDBm7(4) Bm7(4) My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark C(9)C(9) GG And I, I do not feel the romance, I do not catch the spark
DD/G-D/F#-D/EDD/G-D/F#-D/E [instrumental]
DDCC I don't know when I noticed life was life at my expense BmBmGmGm The words of my heart lined up like prisoners on a fence DDCC My dreams came in like needy children tugging at my sleeve G/BG/BAsusA7 I said I have no way of feeding you, so leave
C(9)C(9) GG But there was a time I asked my father for a dollar DD/C#Bm7(4) Bm7(4) And he gave it a ten dollar raise C(9)C(9) GG And when I needed my mother and I called her DD/C#EmEmA7susA7 She stayed with me for days
GGGmGm Now someone's on the telephone, desperate in his pain DD/C#BmBm Someone's on the bathroom floor, doing her cocaine C(9)C(9) GG Someone's got his finger on the button in some room DD/C#F#7 [tacet] No one can convince me we aren't gluttons for our doom E7/G#E7/G#Gmaj7Gmaj7 But I tried to make this place my place; I asked for providence to C(9)C(9) G [tacet] smile upon me with its sweet face; Yeah, but I'll tell you:
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark And I, I do not feel the romance, I do not catch the spark My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark And I, I do not feel the romance, I do not catch the spark
Maybe there's no haven in this world for tender age My heart beat like the wings of wild birds in a cage My greatest hope, my greatest cause to grieve And my heart flew from its cage, and it bled upon my sleeve
The cries of passion were like wounds that needed healing I couldn't hear them for the thunder I was half the naked distance between hell and heaven's ceiling And it almost pulled me under
Now someone's on the telephone, desperate in his pain Someone's on the bathroom floor, doing her cocaine Someone's got his finger on the button in some room No one can convince me we aren't gluttons for our doom But I tried to make this place my place; I asked for providence to smile upon me with its sweet face; Yeah, but I'll tell you:
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark And I, I do not feel the romance, I do not catch the spark My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark And I, I do not feel the romance, I do not catch the spark My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark C(9)C(9) G [tacet] And I, I do not feel the romance; I will not be a pawn Gm [slowly] For the prince of darkness any longer
